I never heard "Stuck in the Middle With You" quite in the same way ever again after watching this scene.

Baker Street was a staple of my college life. “And you talk about everything”

To: Borges
Talented and yet, as the article discusses, crippled by severe alcoholism for the “last two decades” of his life. The last years of his life sound utterly miserable. From his miserable childhood onward, this man had a lot of ups and downs in life.
To: AppyPappy
I still have “Baker Street” on my ipod...also “Star” by Stealer’s Wheel...great stuff from a talented man...magritte

RIP Gerry Rafferty.
I could swear I heard him do a cover of “Come Back When You Grow Up” by Bobby Vee and it was better than Vee’s but I can find no reference to such a song by Rafferty.
To: dfwgator
Tarantino does have an immense talent for selecting the perfect music to accompany his films. I’d forgotten that song was one of Rafferty’s. RIP.

City to City was a milestone album. To me, anyway.
after contributing a vocal to the soundtrack of the film Local Hero (1983)
Didn't know this - BTW the movie is well worth seeing.

And Sheryl Crow’s “All I Wanna Do” was a blatant rip-off of that song.

after contributing a vocal to the soundtrack of the film Local Hero (1983) Him and Knopfler on guitar would have been an awesome combination.
